Ebay suggestion for all DFW'ers

I'm stealing this idea from Gemmzie and his Olympic challenge thread

I was thinking when i was searching for mseolympicchallenge listings that it would be helpful for us all to help one another.

Let me explain.....

In the olympic challenge, members list their item on ebay as normal but at the end of the advert put 'mseolympicchallenge' in white text.

This text is then invisible to other ebayers but if you wanted to check what is for sale you type in mseolympicchallenge, tick the 'SEARCH TITLE AND DESCRIPTION' box and it will then list all the items people are selling.



I thought it would be a good idea for any DFW who is listing their stuff on ebay if they could do the same thing but add 'DFW' in white text.

That way if we are wanting to buy something from ebay, we can check using this method and hopfully help out our friends in the process.

We are all here for the same reason and i think it would be a nice gesture to know that you are helping out others in the same boat as yourself.

I'm going to start putting DFW on each of my listings and, fingers crossed, others will follow suit
